The components themselves certainly amount to lightweight and cleanly constructed objects, yet their divergence from the rigid geometries of 90-degree angles gives them whimsicality and personality. Dimitry Kozinenko's [powder-coated metal side tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table) comprise four spindly legs each, round surfaces and wide perimeters that are the source of the apparent asymmetries. The broad bands encircle the tabletops, fusing high on one side and low on the opposite. The visual effect is like looking at a coin drop––no coincidence, as Coin is the name of the collection. What's interesting about this series of angled tables is evidence of a shifting contemporary style of design. Rigid minimalism has been all the rage for some time, but many consumers are looking for more [playfulness in pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co) these days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Whimsical Minimalism:** Creating furniture pieces with angled tables that diverge from rigid geometries, adding a touch of playfulness to minimalist design. - **Asymmetric Simplicity:** Utilizing round surfaces and wide perimeters that fuse at different heights, creating the illusion of asymmetry in tabletops. - **Shifting Contemporary Style:** Reflecting a changing consumer preference for more playful and whimsical design elements in furniture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** The angled tables present an opportunity for furniture designers to incorporate asymmetrical elements to create visually intriguing and whimsical pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use angled tables with asymmetric surfaces to add character and visual interest to minimalist spaces. - **Home Decor:** Home decor retailers can stock angled tables with whimsical designs to cater to consumers seeking unconventional and playful furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Terrazzo Side Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-side-table.md) - [Playful Wavy Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-table-design.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-side-table.md)
